Research direction

Start by tracing the IR generation for Patch(table, base_record, record, ...), then compare it with the existing LookUp call generation. Confirm how the current linear scan locates base_record and identify the relevant tests or entry points in the repository. Done means Patch resolves base_record through a generated LookUp call without changing its expected behavior.
